Playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo sounds like a bad idea to me, but the director says “you don’t have to babysit one another” and “you can all go your different ways”

Elden Ring Nightreign may be all about bringing multiplayer action to the Lands Between, but director Junya Ishizaki says you can still play the roguelike spin on the open-world RPG as a lone wolf if you so desire.

Speaking to GameSpot, Ishizaki tackles a question about whether FromSoftware was worried that Nightreign’s pitch might take away from the sense of isolation many enjoy from the studio’s work. While Nightreign is supposed to be an “opportunity” for others “intimidated” by Elden Ring’s structure and world to tackle the Lands Between in the security of pals, Ishizaki issues that lone wolves won’t feel entirely left out.
